Every journey starts with a single step.
My journey started "officially" in March 2006. I started this blog six years into my journey, I often find myself amazed at how this disease taught me a lot....about me. I find the hot air balloons a perfect representation of my journey, with all it's ups and downs....I still soar.

I won't complain about the weather again!

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day here. The high was in the low 70's. The morning had no breeze (unheard of here), so sitting at the patio table felt wonderful. Then, my husband informs me were supposed to get SNOW next week! WHAT?! No flipping way! I want SPRING to stay. I'm tired of the snow and the COLD. I want to be able to sit on my patio, basking in the sunlight without a heavy coat on! Waaa Waaa Waaa.

Then I read Wendy's latest entry http://wendybooker.wordpress.com I'll never complain about the cold again. Imagine waking up and having your sleeping back covered with ice particles and the clothes you washed the night before, frozen solid! She actually sleeps with her tent flap OPEN.....at 16 degrees!

Wendy isn't eating enough (They require 8000 calories A DAY). She's having a tough time swallowing. I hope she is able to eat better soon and this doesn't become something that stops her mission.

Her experience is an amazing thing to read about. The more I read the higher my level of respect for her goes. I have a tough time just getting out of bed in the morning. I can't imagine how she does it. One of the questions I have for her is how she battles MS fatigue! I know when I get tired my balance is even worse than "normal" and if I push myself I'm in bed the next day. How on earth is she able to push her body to such limits. I can't wait to ask her the questions!
